Trade deadline is a bizarre time. Life-changing things can happen. As someone who's been with the same organization for 14 years, there's been moments where I'm like, yeah, I know there's no chance I'm getting traded. And still I'm just sitting there like, man, I cannot wait till this deadline pass. Like there's never a way to be so certain unless you got a no trade clause. My wife was talking to me a week ago and she was saying like, man, you think such and such gonna get traded? And I'm like, I don't know, it's possible. She's like, man, I was talking to, you know, significant other. She's like preparing the kids and everything for a trade. He's like, "Really?" Like, I don't know if he gonna get traded or not, but that's the other side of it. Kids telling my kid like, "I think my dad about to get traded." Everyone around the league will be calling Milwaukee. Even if you're not calling for Giannis, if they're breaking up the team, you could be calling for Myles Turner. You could be calling for Bobby Portis. You could be calling for Ryan Rollins. It changes things. Right now, I know it's just as much as you guys know. I've read what you read. I don't know, but I know it's very stressful. So we'll see. Whoo!
